Chapter 25: A dilemma
At the end of May, Liu Yixiaojin, a Liu beauty of Ningcui Pavilion of Huaqing Palace, was for Jieyu, and Xu Danting, the royal daughter of Jiangzi Pavilion, was promoted for Baolin.
Liu Jieyu and Xu Baolin both live in Huaqing Palace, and the main seat of Huaqing Palace is Concubine Yi.
Xu Baolin won't say it, he has been in the palace for more than three years, and he has always been a royal maid, so it is not surprising that he will attach Concubine Yi, who lives in the same palace and is favored. But Liu Jieyu is Xia Xiuyi's cousin, Xia Xiuyi has always followed Liling, and Liu Jieyu's many promotions before were all due to the blessing of Liling, but now Liu Jieyu has become a member of Concubine Yi's faction without saying a word.
Xia Xiuyi also had a headache about this, she didn't know when her cousin took refuge in Concubine Yi!
Since last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, my cousin became a beauty, there has been no movement, and the emperor will not call her to sleep on weekdays, so my cousin is a little anxious, and I came to beg her several times and said that I wanted to be promoted. But since the imperial concubine was grounded at the beginning of the year, the imperial concubine doesn't love the director very much, and the imperial concubine has faintly fallen out of favor, and she can't take her cousin's matter to ask the imperial concubine, so she has to appease her cousin.
Who would have thought that my cousin was too anxious for quick success, and when she saw Concubine Yi gaining power, she took refuge in Concubine Yi!
Although Xia Xiuyi didn't know about the dirt between Li Ling and Concubine Yi, this did not prevent Xia Xiuyi from worrying, after all, no one likes Liu Jieyu's wall grass.
So Xia Xiuyi specially went to the main hall to plead guilty to Liling.
After knowing Xia Xiuyi's intention, Li Ling smiled lightly, what should she be, it turned out to be this matter.
"Speaking of which, this palace has never helped Liu Jieyu anything, so there is nothing to talk about betrayal or betrayal." Li Ling didn't want to have a gap between her and Xia Xiuyi because of a Liu Jieyu, after all, in the entire harem, Xia Xiuyi would not have a conflict of interest with her, not to mention, Xia Xiuyi had spent a lot of effort to cultivate.
When Li Ling said this, Xia Xiuyi's hanging heart was slightly relaxed.
"However, Liu Jieyu is always your cousin, this blood relationship cannot be broken, if there is a conflict between this palace and Concubine Yi in the future......" Li Ling looked at Xia Xiuyi with a smile, and the meaning she wanted to express was self-evident.
Xia Xiuyi sighed slightly in her heart, she hadn't thought about what the imperial concubine said, but she really didn't know, if there was really that day, what would she do.
Xia Xiuyi smiled bitterly, her good cousin is what a big problem for her!
Li Ling saw Xia Xiuyi's wry smile in her eyes, but she didn't skip this topic because of this, she only looked at Xia Xiuyi with a smile, waiting for Xia Xiuyi's answer.
There's no way around it. If Concubine Yi asked Liu Jieyu to deal with her, then who did Xia Xiuyi help? If she turns around to deal with Liu Jieyu at that time, what will Xia Xiuyi do? Even if Xia Xiuyi chooses her, who can guarantee that Xia Xiuyi will not have a pimple in her heart in the future?
It is not an exaggeration to say that Xia Xiuyi is now the right-hand man of Liling, if Xia Xiuyi has any different intentions, then she will be in trouble.
"Yu Yun will persuade my cousin well." Xia Xiuyi didn't dare to give Pear Ling a 100% guarantee, and even if she gave a 100% guarantee, Pear Ling wouldn't believe it.
Li Ling nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with Xia Xiuyi's answer, at least Xia Xiuyi's attitude showed that Xiao Xiuyi was still on her side now.
"When you came to the palace to let your cousin enter the palace, one is to repay your uncle's kindness to your mother and daughter, and the other is to have someone support your mother in the future, so that your mother's life will be better, I hope you remember your original intention, don't backfire!" Ri Ling still had a smile on her face, but the words she said didn't make people laugh at all.
Xia Xiuyi's heart sank, and her smile became more and more bitter.
The imperial concubine is reminding her! The reason why she took refuge in the imperial concubine was because she wanted to escape from the cage of the palace, and only the imperial concubine could help her; Second, because she wants her cousin to enter the palace, after she leaves the palace in the future, her cousin will be there, and her uncle will be more confident in speaking, and she will be able to protect her mother for her, so she has been sparing no effort to help her cousin, so that her cousin has been promoted from a royal maid to a beauty.
But the reason why she helped her cousin, in addition to being a relative, the most important reason was because her cousin could help her mother in the future, so that the favored concubine in the family would be jealous, so that her father would not dare to mess around. But if you offend the imperial concubine because you help your cousin, wouldn't you put the cart before the horse!
Although she still doesn't know how much power the imperial concubine has in her hands, the imperial concubine definitely has the ability to make her mother feel bad at home! So she must not be confused with her cousin because of her confusion and give up the big tree of the imperial concubine!
Xia Xiuyi didn't feel anything about the threat of the imperial concubine, after all, she and the imperial concubine would only help each other because of interests, since this was the case, then she couldn't blame the imperial concubine for threatening her mother with her, besides, the imperial concubine was just reminding her now that she didn't do anything.
"The concubine understands, thank you for the reminder of the imperial concubine." Xia Xiuyi no longer had that wry smile, obviously she had made up her mind in her heart, she stood in front of the pear Lingying, bowed, and then said goodbye and left.
Li Ling couldn't be more satisfied with Xia Xiuyi's performance.
In fact, she didn't want to use Xia Xiuyi's mother to threaten Xia Xiuyi, but there were some things that she had to do. She is not just one person, she also has two children, now that her father has resigned and returned home, all the forces have been handed over to her, if she is not careful, she may have to affect her father who is far away in Shudi, so she must not be defeated because of a little Liu Jieyu!
Although she verbally threatened Xia Xiuyi, no matter what, she would not do anything to Xiao Xiuyi's mother, even if Xia Xiuyi betrayed her in the end, it had nothing to do with Xia Xiuyi's mother. She has always had clear grievances and will not involve the innocent, otherwise, wouldn't she have become the kind of person she hated the most before?
After Xia Xiuyi returned to Pujiaxuan, she sent her personal palace maid Yingluo to invite Liu Jieyu over, after all, Huaqing Palace is Concubine Yi's territory, and it is impossible for her to swagger to Huaqing Palace to let Liu Jieyu stay away from Concubine Yi, right?
However, the people sent by Xia Xiuyi did not successfully invite Liu Jieyu to come, Liu Jieyu not only did not come, but also asked Yingluo to send a message back.
"Liu Jieyu said, Niangniang, you are now a cultivator, so naturally you don't understand her Jieyu's inferiority, and said, if you can't help her, then don't stop her brilliant Tengda......" Yingluo said later, her voice gradually became smaller, she had already said much better, Liu Jieyu's original words were ugly! It's a shame that her master was so good to Liu Jieyu before, she is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed!
"What a good cousin of Hongu!" Xia Xiuyi knows Liu Jieyu, and knows that Liu Jieyu's original words must be more excessive, and the clay man is still bloody, not to mention that Xia Xiuyi is a person.
So Xia Xiuyi was also annoyed, she didn't want to care about Liu Jieyu's affairs anymore, she just thought that if Liu Jieyu had any worries about her life in the future, she would beg the imperial concubine to protect her! It's worthy of my uncle.
"You go and tell her again, if she decides to go her own way, then this palace will not have her as a sister in the future, and she will not help her in the future!" Xia Xiuyi was still a little reluctant to give up, and wanted Yingluo to go to the Ningcui Pavilion of Huaqing Palace again.
Although Yingluo felt that Liu Jieyu would not accept her master's love at all, she still went according to her words.
It is conceivable that Liu Jieyu naturally refused to pay attention to Xia Xiuyi.
